Beyonce's Daddy to Haters: You're All Idiots

Posted Apr 22nd 2009 1:00PM by TMZ Staff

Beyonce Knowles Beyonce's dad is on the warpath against the people attacking his daughter for the supposed "board mix" audio of B singing at "The Today Show" -- claiming all doubters of her ability are "idiots."

In a fiery statement to TMZ, Mathew Knowles, who's also Bey's manager, says his daughter was set up. It's one of the best statements we've ever gotten.

"If no one took the time to look at the biggest Inauguration in the history of America then shame on them.

If no one took the time to listen to Beyonce sing 'America the Beautiful' and 'At Last' at the Neighborhood Ball for the first dance of President Obama and the First Lady, and they question Beyonce's vocal ability, they've gotta be an idiot.

At 12 years into her career, the last thing someone should be questioning is her vocal ability.

That would be like questioning if Kobe Bryant could shoot a jump shot. The vocals were obviously altered."

46. I'm uncomfortable with the hostility of Blacks. They're all "in your face" if they disagree with something.

49. Granttomb, I was in no way making excuses for her. As I re-read what I wrote, I realized it may seem that way. However, I was pointing out to those who are saying "it can't possibly be her" that yes... yes it could be. and yes, it most likely is. Those people need a reality check. Blind faith is not good.

53. People need to lay off!! Beyonce has an amazing voice and it's sad when someone actually has talent and a gift like hers, and we all but crucify her. It's humiliating. Idiots should be making comments on Miley Cyrus' obvious lack of vocal ability she displays on a daily basis.

54. Silkee... I applaud your resilience and good nature... my apologies for jumping to conclusions... keep up the good comments!

55. Papa Knowles released a statement… so what… Even more true because they never release statements about rumors before… period. Beyonce should speak up for herself!!! Hello it’s about you not your daddy!!! She must be crying her eyes out, again!!! She is so WEAK!!! It is obvious Beyonce was always lip syncing. People always thought she sang live, no body on the face of this earth can sing live and not run out of breath at some point… ridiculous the only thing you hear is prerecorded vocals! Plus having an audio track playing so the audience hears it means no one will hear you singing along. In addition, whenever she performs; running up and down the stage,(or whatever) you always hear the strong vocals of the audio . ANYONE who performs the way she does will surely run out of breath before the song is over… but you never hear it because she lip-syncs.

56. I am music producer and her vocals were obviously altered. To industry professionals this is obvious, but to those not into recording records I see how you could think she just sang that bad. Obviously doctored.

57. Silkee, I applaud your resilience and good nature and I apologize for jumping to conclusions with you. Keep up the good and honest comments!

58. I would have to agree with her dad that audio is crap and obviously doctored by someone needing a better hobby.

59. Whoever "doctored" her vocals use the effect plugin Autotune. This is the same effect T-Pain uses but when used wrong you can change audio to sound like this. It was pretty funny though. lol

60. ha ha so there! I hate to say I told you so,but... good for you papa! you stick up for your beautiful talented daughter!
that clip was so ridiculous it was pathetic.. as I said, she sang for obama and did a great job, she has sung many times live and was great. This is her livelihood, don't mess with that with idiots who doctor everything nowadays, pictures, video, audio, its too easy and too easy targets.
morons! :)
